Alfred Pierre Noël Cazaubon (1895-1979) Orpheus raising his lyre Circa 1940 Signed CAZAUBON on the terrace Large figure in painted plaster imitating bronze Getekend CAZAUBON op het terras Grote figuur in gips geschilderd in imitatie van brons Signed CAZAUBON on the terrace Large figure in plaster painted in imitation of bronze 287 x 75 x 58 cm (112.9 x 29.5 x 22.8 in) Footnotes: Provenance Acquired in Paris in the 1970s by the current owner We have little information on Pierre Cazaubon (1885-1979). He was born in Pau and trained in the studio of Joseph Alexandre and Ernest Gabard (1879-1957). He exhibited regularly at the Société des amis des Arts de Pau. He continued his training in Paris with Injalbert (1845-1933). Then, between 1927 and 1928, he spent some time in America, where he created the bas-reliefs for Saint John's Church in New York and the Palais des Congrès in Havana. On his return to Paris in 1929, he was made a member of the Salon d'Automne with the Bernheim de Villier prize, and exhibited there for the first time alongside artists such as Bugatti, Maillol, Pompom and Dejean. His sculpture 'Porteuse d'eau' (Water Bearer), placed at the entrance to Room IV, attracted considerable attention and was considered a revelation for its 'qualities of attentive simplicity and insinuating, gentle, but perfectly accurate modelling' (loc. cit., Le Temps, 5 November 1929). He then regularly exhibited sculptures in different materials, stone, bronze and plaster at the Salon d'Automne. He won awards at the 1930 and 1937 Universal Exhibitions, and in 1947 won a gold medal in the monumental art category at the Exposition internationale de l'habitation et de l'urbanisme at the Grand Palais. We are also aware of a monumental bronze sculpture representing Heraklès choking a snake that was sold at the Pau-Pyrénées auction house, Etude Gestas, on 17 June 2000. The French government commissioned several sculptures from him, so that he is relatively well represented in French public collections (Musée de Pau, Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, Théâtre National de Chaillot, Centre National des Arts Plastiques, etc). Pierre Cazaubon's works are typical of the 1930s period and are strongly inspired by Maillol and Bourdelle. Like Bourdelle, he sought to give his sculptures a monumental dimension. The figure shown here is a fine example of this, and is almost certainly the plaster design for the sumptuous bronze of the same dimensions cast by Attilio Valsuani (active 1927-1960) now in the Nicolas Bourriaud gallery in Paris Comparative literatures F.
